Radio World International Celebrates 30 Years!

To celebrate our birthday, we're featuring a selection of historical pictures you've shared with us

It’s been three decades since Radio World International was launched. An offspring of Radio World, we started as a monthly print publication and have grown steadily over the years, documenting evolution and innovation in the radio industry worldwide.

Today, through our print issue and digital editions we reach more than 13,000 readers worldwide each month. Via the Radio World website, which brings together the best of all our industry-leading digital platforms, we reach another 23,000 monthly users.

To celebrate our birthday, we’re publishing a selection of photos we received from you. Thanks for sharing and growing with us over the years!
